The Skins Are Really A Very Horrible Bad Team

Denial...ain't just a river in Egypt my friend.

Lol. "If you really knew me....." you'd know I was being sarcastic.;) I originally had little faith that Beck would do much better. With the OL missing players and the WR's really not stepping up Grossman either I couldn't see much changing.

But it was fun throwing it all back at the Beck fans who were so adamant that he was our problem solver. Haha.

Look, I am just as pissed as the next guy to lose a game. But what we as Redskins fan have to look at is, are we headed in the right direction. Redskin fans have been buying into the hype for better part of 12 years that this is going to be our year. Spending ridiculous amounts of money on worthless players. These things have been debated to death. Throwing the draft picks out the window year after year.

What I am pleased with is the progress on both sides of the ball, personel wise. Young players at key positions, building depth, and mixing in some personel that actually fit into the system.

I am excited of the potential this team has in 2 or 3 years.

I think the plague of injuries to Cooley, T. Willimansm, Moss, Buchannan,Jenkins, and most importantly Tim Hightower took the air out of the offense. Beck looks lethargic and has no grasp of the offense at all. He's missed the big plays down the field and its cost us 4 losses as a result.

why is this in the "Redskins Gear" forum?

Hadn't even noticed. Maybe because he was trying to sell tix as well?

Nope, as was said to me after the first game, ....injuries are no excuse ...all teams have them and must deal with them, "players need to step up".

Their defense was also built around Manning. They dared their opponents to try and keep up with their offense. It was designed to give up scores, but the most time-consuming manner possible. When the opposing O had to abandon their run, Freeney and Mathis could then start teeing off on the opposing QB.

Their defense is exactly why they didn't win more Super Bowls. It sucked. (especially when Bob Sanders was missing)

true

It's the FO's job to have competent reserves in place. Failing to maintain a certain level performance after an injury shows a failure to do that job.

I dont mind not going back to Grossman, but it really depresses me we didnt at least have another option. How can a nfl coach not have a developmental 3rd qb to give a shot if, in the off chance, 2qbs named Beck and Grossman somehow didnt work out.....

We should have kept Clemens and cut Banks or Austin as hindsight is 20/20. I don't think Clemens would have been a barnburner either, but at least another option.
